Genius (you know, the developer involved in a tortuous lawsuit with ActiBliz about DJ Hero) has revealed the turntable peripheral for the upcoming Scratch: The Ultimate DJ.
The deck has been developed in conjunction with Numark, which makes real DJ tech.
The companies say of the peripheral, "SCRATCH DECK combines two essential elements of the DJ and hip-hop experience - a free-spinning, touch sensitive turntable with a crossfader and 5 Akai Pro MPC-style drum pads. The turntable allows players to add their own style and manipulate the songs in real time, while the MPC-style drum pads give players the opportunity to perform and customize tracks by triggering samples using the very same pads that are the cornerstone of professional hip-hop beat production.
"Samples can either be pre-loaded into the game using 60 unique battle records that will ship with the software, or players can record and upload their own samples using a compatible USB microphone.
"In addition to the features created by Numark, SCRATCH DECK also contains standard game controls found in music rhythm games. The turntable features a realistic surface that feels remarkably similar to a vinyl record. The drum pads and the crossfader also deliver an authentic and realistic music production experience. Left-handed DJs will appreciate that SCRATCH DECK is designed for use in right or left-handed configurations."
Now look at the bloody pictures! You can compare the kit to the DJ Hero peripheral by looking here.
